Ever since I was a child I've wanted to serve Canada, and uphold 'the torch' that my veteran Grandfather passed down to me. In 2017 I applied and was accepted into the University of Toronto, and the Canadian Armed Forces as an Intelligence Officer out of HMCS YORK in Toronto. I am currently a Junior Officer Under Training, and hope to deploy overseas as soon as I complete my degree and Naval training. Topics I enjoy discussing: the Naval Reserves, Remembrance, Women in the Military, the Canadian Armed Forces, leadership, and personal/professional development.

The Memory Project includes a community of over 1,500 veterans and Canadian Forces members who are committed to sharing their stories of service.
